HONEY, A CURE FOR MANKIND—DIRECTION FROM THE HOLY QUR’AN

Abstract

Honey has been mentioned in the Holy Quran as a cure for mankind which means that within honey are cures for human diseases. However, except for wound healing, cough relief in children, and post-chemotherapy to treat ulcers, honey is not used to treat any major human disease. In this talk I will discuss the current state of research on honey, and the future directions which the Holy Quran has opened for us in the two verses of Surah Al-Nahl. I will also show that by pondering over these verses and following the guidance and direction given by the Holy Quran in our research, we can find the secrets of honey and its curative potential
